Originals, not copies
Every item is stored exactly as it left the camera — up to 50 MB per photo and 1 GB per video, nothing shrunk. When you download it, you get back exactly that file.
Comparison
Six providers, the same basic idea, very different terms. Three rows decide whether you end up paying what you expected.
Free, no subscription
The core idea is the same everywhere: scan a QR code, load photos into the shared album, usually with no app. ‘No app needed’ therefore distinguishes nothing. Three other things do:
Every item is stored exactly as it left the camera — up to 50 MB per photo and 1 GB per video, nothing shrunk. When you download it, you get back exactly that file.
46 palettes in light and dark, 9 fonts, your own cover photo. Plus 23 table card templates, ten cards per A4 sheet, printed from the browser.
If the connection drops, the upload picks up where it stopped — not from the start. The queue survives a restart and, with no signal, waits until there’s reception again.
Open the link, type a first name, upload — in any phone’s browser, in Deutsch, English, Français, Italiano, Español. No account, no password, no email invite.
Live Wall on the projector, 450 photo tasks for 9 occasions, several albums per event, every photo can be moderated — from the free plan up. The plan sets the size of the event, not the features.
Download everything as a ZIP, or copy it straight into your own Google Photos or Google Drive. After that, you don’t need us any more.
Six providers, six price tags — and with several of them the plan decides which features you get: video, original quality or the live slideshow only further up. With us an event starts at zero and stays there until it grows past 400 MB; every plan does everything, the plan sets the storage and how long it stays online — and with Unlimited your own header sits above the event instead of our name.
Providers in columns, features in rows — on a phone the feature column stays put while you scroll sideways. Amounts are entry prices; promotional prices are marked.

Collecting is free. Unlocking is a one-off payment from $23 — no subscription, no per-guest licence, no surcharge for video.
Yes: download there, upload again here. There’s no automatic transfer.
Not with Migumento: opening the link is enough, plus a first name on the first upload. For the others it’s in the table.
